Email hosting via Crazy Domains
-
I have registered an email hosting with my domain name at Crazy Domains but I don’t know how to link it to WordPress. I tried following the instructions but I’m not sure if it worked?!

Hi there,
I went ahead and added the information you emailed us from Crazy Domains, so you’re all set. It can take a few hours for email changes like that to take effect, but soon your Crazy Domains email should start working. (If you have any questions about getting that email set up, Crazy Domains can help with that.)
If you ever need to set up new email or make changes, here are some tips for that:
We have a guide for adding email with different email providers here: Add Email
Email records can be added with the “Edit Domain” button under Store > My Domain’s in your site’s dashboard. On the “Edit DNS” page there you can add the custom records your email provider gives you.
To add an MX record, you can select “MX” in the dropdown under Add New DNS Record and enter the information for that record. For example, if your email provider gives you this:
mail.yourgroovydomain.com
You can leave the first box blank and enter mail.yourgroovydomain.com in the second box after “handled by.” Then, click the “Add” button to add that record.
For IP addresses, you can select “A” in the dropdown (to add an A record). If you email provider gives you this:
IP Address: 1.2.3.4
You can enter mail in the first box (since it’s for the “mail” subdomain of yourgroovydomain.com) and enter 1.2.3.4 in the second box. Then, click the “Add” button to add that record.
When you’re done, you can save your changes.
Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

You’re welcome! I’ll work on making the instructions on our support page a bit clearer about that. :)
